Gary Thomas Whitehead Releases Two Emotionally Powerful Singles, 'Still Holding Your Hand' and 'Sometimes I Call Your Name'
Independent songwriter Gary Thomas Whitehead delivers a deeply human two-song release exploring love, loss, and the moments that stay with us long after time moves on.
The first single, 'Still Holding Your Hand,' was written for a close friend navigating the painful uncertainty of her mother’s declining health. The song captures the quiet strength found in hospital rooms, late-night conversations, and the simple act of holding on when words aren’t enough. It is a tribute to presence - to staying beside someone you love when the future feels fragile.
The companion single, 'Sometimes I Call Your Name,' reflects the season that follows. It speaks to the deeply personal experience of loss — the instinctive moments when you still say their name out loud, forgetting for a split second that they’re no longer physically there. It’s a song about memory, longing, and the echoes love leaves behind.
Together, the two tracks form an emotional arc:
One about holding on
One about learning to live after letting go
“These songs were written from real life,” Whitehead shares. “One came from watching someone try to be strong while facing goodbye. The other came from understanding that even after loss, love doesn’t just disappear. Sometimes you still call their name.”
With heartfelt lyric writing and cinematic contemporary production, both singles resonate strongly with Adult Contemporary, Soft Rock, Country, Christian AC, and community-focused formats.
